Discovered this magazine online today!! N' I nearly peeeed my panties! This is so exciting and what I'm all about!! All the Crafts I have been making lately have been creative uses for old items and I'm having so much fun with it! I am for sure going to chapters this week to pick up myself a copy!!As I type right now I'm making a stuffy elephant out of my beloved Michael Kors sweater that my stupid washing machine even though on delicate mode decided to eat holes through. I figured it had sat around in a basket for long enough and it is %100 unfixable there for I must make another use of it, it can never be worn again and I have finally come to terms with this.
I keep all Christmas cards and make my own out of them the next year, I pick pine cones off the street and cover them in glitter to make ornaments and take apart ugly bulky charm bracelets and make tree ornaments with them. Yesterday I finished a stuffed toy shark for someone I had promised it to (he is still not %100 sure on what to name the shark) using an old sweat shirt Julia didn't want. I have been using scraps of her old clothes to put patches on handmade teddy bears and anything I can get my hands on really!
Clearly I have developed quite the hobby so you can only imagin my excitement when I came across this magazine and I had to share it with the world!
Okee, back to my elephant!
